Westfield Matildas trio named among Guardian's best 100 female footballers

Westfield Matildas stars Elise Kellond-Knight, Alanna Kennedy and Emily van Egmond have all been included on the Guardian's list of the best 100 female footballers in the world.

Places 100 to 71 of the publication's countdown have been released following consultation with an expert panel.

Arsenal Women head coach Joe Montemurro - formerly in charge of Melbourne City - was among the judges who recognised Kellond-Knight, Kennedy and Van Egmond as being among the premier players in the game.
